In order to score the highest marks, it is important that a plan is formulated based on the calculations. The calculations should be with respect to the number of questions that are to be solved correctly while adjusting the negative marks from the wrong answers. As an approximate, it has been found that for JBIMS a minimum of 140+ questions should be targeted as the correct answers. It has been found that most of the 99.99 percentiles have more than 195 genuine attempts.
The higher the number of genuine attempts the higher is the chance to get a better average core. In case, there are more negative points, the chances of getting through top colleges decrease as the average calculated score reduced significantly. Thus, it is very important that the guesswork is limited and at least 180 questions are answered of which a minimum of 140 should be genuine and correct. In order to achieve more positive points, it is important that proper practice is done prior to the paper through a set plan. Rest, it all depends on the type of paper on the D-day, as it can be extremely easy or too difficult. Accordingly there will be changes in the final; cut-offs and the range of answers that are answered correctly by even the topper can lower down.
Through the thorough analysis, it can be clearly stated that a good score in the range of 140-150 can help you start with the top B-schools and as you score higher, you can be among the toppers who make their way into the leading business school of Maharashtra through MAH CET such as the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies.
